Abstract
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is an alarming threat, and targeted deep sequencing (DS) may be an effective method for rapid identification of drug-resistant profiles, including detection of heteroresistance. We evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of targeted DS versus phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (pDST) among patients starting first-line anti-TB therapy in Botswana. Overall, we found high concordance between DS and pDST. Lower sensitivity of DS, which targets established high-confidence resistance variants, was observed for detecting isoniazid resistance among HIV-infected patients.Entities:
